    Emergency Pod: Wicky Fired & SKC Roster Moves
    2026/11/11
    It's a midweek podcast, so you know what that means – Emergency Pod!Sporting Kansas City made waves multiple times this week. First, on Monday they dropped the axe and fired head coach Raphael Wicky after just 10 months on the job. Was it too soon? Not soon enough? What comes next on the Sporting KC sideline? Sheena and I work through our thoughts on the move.Sadly, when someone loses their job, there are others that get taken down with them. Assistants Edu Rubio and Ash Wallace are also without jobs. And kitman, Mike Flaherty is also leaving Sporting KC.The team made slightly smaller waves today when they also announced their post-season roster moves. Out are John Pulskamp, Stephen Afrifa, Ethan Bartlow and Shapi Suleymanov. The team picked up options of varying lengths for Jansen Miller, Justin Reynolds, Wyatt Meyer and Jayden Reid. Goalkeeper Ryan Schewe remains in limbo while he's on loan.We analyze what is surprising and what was expected from these moves and why so many defenders from a team that allowed a league-record 81 goals are still on the roster.There was also other Sporting KC news around the SKC II roster, team awards announcements, no Leagues Cup for SKC in 2027 and Zorhan Bassong heading to international duty with Canada. The MLS offseason calendar has a bit of a gap until the next moment, but David Lee is addressing the media Wednesday, so that'll likely give us a lot more news around the coach and roster.The Kansas City Current were mostly absent from the show, besides the news of their playoff game being finalized against Gotham, but we'll be back next time to talk about them hopefully going to the NWSL Championship!In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few topics, including:The MLS coaching carouseland CF Montreal possibly relocating and definitely being for saleHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 1:42KC Current - Next time!Digital Crawl - 1:09:13Upcoming GamesUMKC Roos vs. St. Thomas, WED, Nov 11th at 6:00PM CT (Finals on the weekend)KC Current @ Gotham, SUN, Nov 15th at 2:00PM USMNT vs Haiti (Nations League)Road: SAT, Nov 14th at 3:30PMHome: TUE, Nov 17th at 6:00PMYouth USA National Team Games:US U-20s vs. Japan (Ruben Ramos Jr.), THUR at 7PM (YouTube)US U-17s vs Canada (Sam Worcester), SAT at 10AM (FIFA+)US U-19s vs. Jordan (Jack Kortkamp), SAT at 7AMUS U-20s vs. Colombia (Ruben Ramos Jr.), SAT at 6PM (YouTube)Zorhan Bassong (Canada) vs. Guatemala - Nations League, FRI at 8PMMLS International Break before the PlayoffsAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

  • SKC Avoid the Wooden Spoon: Immediate Reactions

    SKC Avoid the Wooden Spoon: Immediate Reactions

Sporting Kansas City did it! They avoided finishing dead last. The only original MLS team to avoid that distinction for now 31 seasons and counting. It's weird to be happy about being 29th in the standings, but it's the little things. We decided to go After Dark style with our immediate reactions to the "high" of coming in 29th.Before Sporting KC even took the field, they needed CF Montreal to lose. And they did. Again. Thankfully the Vancouver Whitecaps dispatched them fairly easily, though it was touch and go before the Caps poured it on. Then the weight was on Sporting KC to get the job done. They needed to win a game, something they had failed to do in their previous seven tries. But on the back of an Andre Luiz drawn and converted PK, the defense held on for a shutout and San Diego FC lost 1-0 in their home stadium.Sheena and I talk through some milestones, moments from the game that went well and were a bit sketchy, including the new partnership between Owen Wolff and Lasse Berg Johnsen, Taylor Calheira's early injury, Justin Reynolds late heroics and so many missed chances!The conversation weaved between the game and the season on the whole. Sporting KC still ended up with the most goals allowed in league history, but they avoided the worst goal differential. That naturally led to a conversation about guys who should and shouldn't be here and a coach that may still be out of a job, but we were divided on Rapha Wicky.The Kansas City Current pulled off something they couldn't in 2025. They won a playoff game. It wasn't without controversy. The game winning goal came on a penalty kick that is probably a foul, but one that often goes uncalled. And that wasn't the only controversial decision. Angel City FC fans were up in arms about missed penalties, primarily the possible DiBernardo handball. However, they should probably be more upset about a play the broadcast didn't even replay. Regardless, KC advance to face the winner of Gotham FC and the Seattle Reign.Give the show a listen and we'll dive into these topics and of course go off topic since it's For the Glory KC After Dark!In the Digital Crawl, we hit two more topics:College Soccer and a very weird voteMLS Cup Playoffs and hate watchingHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 1:29KC Current - 1:03:01Digital Crawl - 1:30:46Upcoming GamesUMKC Roos vs. St. Thomas, WED, Nov 11th at 6:00PM CT (Finals on the weekend)KC Current vs. winner of Gotham/SeattleUSMNT vs Haiti (Nations League)MLS goes into an international break before the playoffsAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

  • Sporting KC's Wicky Says It's Not a Tactics or System Problem

    Sporting KC's Wicky Says It's Not a Tactics or System Problem
    2026/11/02
    For the Glory KC is back with the 202nd episode of the show!Before we get to the podcast, if you'd like to support us, check out Upside. It's an app you can use to buy gas, eat out and in some cities buy groceries and get cash back for buying what you are going to buy anyways.

Sporting Kansas City managed to only pick up one point in a three-game in eight-day stretch. They blew a lead on Wednesday on the road at Minnesota United. Taylor Calheira put the team up early on what was one of the few moments of first half offense. Then, as has been the case all season, Sporting KC collapsed with two goals in four minutes to lose (plus a third in a 16-minute stretch). SKC also set a record for futility giving up more goals in a season than any team in MLS history.Sheena and I break down the good, bad and ugly from that game, including the post-game press conference with Rapha Wicky, where he said, “I don't think the system is a problem. I don’t think it’s a tactical problem." Hard disagree. Things went a little better at the home finale where Sporting KC fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas, who are way up in second place in the Western Conference. It came down to a penalty kick save by Stefan Cleveland after a questionable handball call on Jansen Miller.It wasn't the only bad officiating on the night. There was a possible missed DOGSO on Dallas and two horrible challenges suffered by Jacob Bartlett, including this one where he gets a yellow despite winning the ball and Romero missing it and crushing him.And frankly, I can't believe this second challenge isn't a red. The force is ridiculous and Bartlett is probably done for the year and out for the finale in San Diego.Speaking of San Diego, Sporting KC remain alive to avoid the Wooden Spoon if everything goes right on Saturday. CF Montreal need to lose at home to the Vancouver Whitecaps and SKC need to win in Cali. That, plus news on Erik Palmer-Brown, Zamir Loyo Reynaga, SKC II's potential move to Iowa and the 2027 Sprint Season schedule is out!The Kansas City Current ended their season strong with their fifth straight win. They are the hottest team in the NWSL and did what they were supposed to in their 2-0 victory over Racing Louisville on the road. That sets them up for a home playoff game against Ally Sentnor and Angel City FC this coming Saturday.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a couple more topics:A confusing new tournament from the MASL for women, despite having a women's league, none of those teams are in it, including the AstrasUMKC will host the Summit League Tourney semifinal and finalKansas City World Cup dataand the US U-17 Women knock off Spain before losing to North KoreaHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 7:47KC Current - 1:09:46Digital Crawl - 1:15:57Upcoming GamesKC Current vs. Angel City, SAT, Nov 7th at 11AM CTSporting KC @ San Diego FC, SAT, Nov 7th at 6:00PM (Decision Day)As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.
